There is a saying that big cities never sleep. This is true for some cities in which the nightlife
begins just when people in other cities are ready to go to bed. Big cities like New York,
Madrid, London and Paris have vibrant nightlife. People can still find entertainment, dine out
or go shopping in the early hours.
City dwellers are usually more diverse and there are many communities that hold social
events or parties, which provide interesting opportunities for social interactions and social
networking. The social interactions allow you to learn about other cultures and share interests
with people from different backgrounds, which makes people more open minded and able to
understand individuals. On the other hand, the social networking helps you to broaden not
only personal but also professional relationships.
All in all, living in big cities is more convenient because of the complete facilities provided.
The advanced transportation system enables the citizens to access public facilities easier,
